With that talent that is putting pieces together for that show you could sure end up dropping a ton of dough if you attend.

Thierry, can you get in line now, I will take 1 of everything.



Yeah, there are a few I'm going to get for sure.  Like BTTF, Iron Giant and Blue Velvet.  They look cool.

BTW, since I've got a couple of emails about it already, the answer is no, sorry, but I'm not getting anything for anyone.  After the Gremlins fiasco, I'm done over there.

I predict the "it" you're referencing will be the next Stout Lebowski - the price is going to zoom to the sky....

I shouldnt have started looking at the sneaks tonight. I should probably just power my machine off for a day to let everything sell out!

Good discussion on EB forums about the upcoming Crazy 4 Cult show and some of the prints mentioned with links:

I guess online sale starts Sat morning.  Who knows what will be left at that point, but some cool stuff in the show for certain.  I already picked up a print for Serenity from the artist's site.  I loved the show and pretty much anything Joss Whedon does.  Too bad he isn't selling the LP version.  Hoping I can score a BTTF or Rushmore on Saturday.

That's the $64,000 question.  A lot of people will be gunning for the Tan BTTF for sure, including moi.

Just went to the Gallery 88 opening.  Lots, LOTS of people.

Here are a couple pictures...



And what I got...

Eric Tan BTTF (#40/150)



Billy Perkins Blue Velvet (#9/100)



Iron Giant (#45/100)



Most of the original pieces in the exhibit were for sale, very few had prints made.  There were way more people in line than prints available, especially considering that they kept a few for tomorrow's online sale.

Congrats Thierry on the BTTF and others.  

The first BTTF mofo flipper has it for $500 on Ebay now.  Unfortunately, given all factors - the low print run, the quality of the print, the popularity of the artist and movie - I predict that will be the going price in the short and medium term, just like Tan's Lost print:

I almost bought it, but I'm not a fan of the movie, so I passed. 

I wonder when Gallery 88 will be putting their extras on line.  Today, I believe.  If you have a chance to get the BTTF print, I strongly recommend it.

That guy is making a mistake by not mentioning BTTF in the title.  Plus, it's too early since Gallery 88 will sell some more at $75.

Im going to try and grab both .. Too bad you passed on the Bodhi print .. i woulda took i toff your hands ;)


I agree on the ebay listing .. I had been looking to see if any would pop up and I was trying bttf and back to the future .. but didnt find anything until Mel posted that screen shot .. So now I just search Eric Tan .. I think this guy will be safe though if the market will accept those prices he will sell .. Not everyone will get one from G88 today .. and his auction still has a few more days to go .. Now if it had been a 24hr auction .. He may have been in trouble ..

I would assume that there were anywhere between 300 and 500 people at the Gallery yesterday.  I was #5 in line.  I could have been #1, but I didn't want to be the only schmuck standing at the door, so I went for a little stroll around the neighborhood (I live a few blocks away).  By the time I came back, four people were in line.

I wonder how many prints they put aside.  I know a lot of people are waiting for the drop, which could happen anytime, since it's already 10am.

Well my order for the BTTF Tan went through, after much stalling. So in theory I should be getting it.

Me too.  I have my fingers crossed.  I also picked up the Todd Slater Rushmore.  I got the ones I liked.  

I will probably regret not picking up the Perkin's Blue Velvets, but I guess when it comes down to it, I just don't like that movie so much.

So everyone got what they wanted?  There is still some good stuff left.  I'm actually quite surprised that it was that easy to get BTTF, considering the amount of people who attended the show.  I wonder how many they put aside, out of 150.

Wooohooo!!! I got BTTF, Bodhi and Mallrats ! :)

Now WTF is Mondos problem ?!? If a place like G88 can pull off that large of a drop with only a slow check out then why the hell cant Mondo take some notes and follow suit!??

Re: How many BTTF they put aside, who knows? 
One of the posters on the EB forums claims they had some left near the end of the evening.  Maybe the Tan's didn't sell out last night.

One that I was looking for was a Shaun of  the Dead print by Brandon Schaeffer that didn't make it through the gallery opening night.

Regarding still good stuff available, there certainly is.  Looking at the originals for sale, I wish a few more of them had been printed, but some of the items are pretty uninspiring as well.  I was able to pick up the three things I really liked.  I am happy.  That leaves more money for the next item from my wish list.

Thanks.
